Longfellow and his Income.

Al note gives statement of the income
earned by Longfellow from literary labor.
He kept record of it up to the end OF
1852, and the largest sum received in any
year to that date was $4,000. This was
principally for the poets and Poetry of
Europe; original composition brought
him much less, although In 1852 some of
his most notable things were on the mar
ket,. including .Eyangeline, and 1.-THE
Golden Legend.' In fact he had reached
fame long before he began to realize even
moderate fortune. The lack Of an inter-
national copyright is supposed to have cost
him about $4,000. To an English lady
who complained Of American pirates he
wrote: It may comfort You to know that
/ have had twenty two publishers in Eng
land and Scotland and only four of them
ever took the slightest notice of my ex-
istence, eTen so far as to send me copy
of the books. New York Tribune.

4 Friend q Al. Honest People.

Everybody knows Col Ingersoll's repn-
tation as d lawyer and politician, but
every one cannot speak Of his personality
truly. Take the word friend" for in
stance The broadness of the term can
not be better shown than by something
he said to man one day last week.
They were talking of the prosafc matter
of ''new Shirts" when the colonel de-
clared he was not going to have another
made for him until he could find shirt
maker who was honest enough to give the
woman who did the work the $3.50 each
that he was willing to allow.
'.I'm afraid you'll have to wait some
time, . said his companion. ttShirtmak-
ers' fortunes are not built that way"
sThen III wait, = said the colonel
sHenceforth wear no shirt until have
seen the woman who makes it, and she
has told me herself that she got paid for
her work. :,
This, then, Is what the word friend, =
as applied above, means. No man can say
that Col. Ingersoll ever paid him less than
his work was worth, even in the most lib
eral Gcnse Of the word, or that he was
ever Gssked for good turn and was re-
ftlsed. it is not to his friends that this
big hearted man is friend, but to all
honest men and women. Fannie B. Mer-
riu In New York World.

Charles Dickens inherited from his

little woman, who had been very nice
looking in her youth, having bright hazel
eyes and being thoroughly good natured,
companionable body. She possessed an
extraordinary sense of the ludicrous and
her power of imitation was something as
tonishing. On entering room she almost

GROWTH OF A BIG Book. When Web
ster's Unabridged was first published in
one volume, it was comparatively
small book. Some years after an adj
idition was made of 1900 Pictorial illus

Appendix Of New Words that had come
into use. A few years 1atercame an en-
tirely new revised edition Of larger size,
with 5000 Pictorial illustrations, then,
afterinterva1 of a few years, a Biograph
ical Dictionary Of nearly 10000 NAMES,
and Supplement Of nearly 5000 New
Words were added, and there has come
new and most valuable addition, A

STATEMENT OF THE CASE.

The first point at issue is the Canadian
definition Of the "lhree-mile limit" inside
Of which, under The treaty of 1918, Ameri-
cans can not fish. The Canadians declare
that it runs from headland TO headland in
stead of following the configuration of the
coast. By this means they get for their
own use most OF the large gulfs and bays
where the fish are chiefly found. Under
such claim no foreign fisherman could
fish in the gulf OF Mexico inside OF line
drawn from the southern extremity OF
Florida TO the mouth Of the Rio Grande
TO Western Texas.
The other point is the Interpretation of
the treaty Of lSlS,which expressly declares
that fishing vessels cannot enter Canadian
water, or in case of distress. The Canadian
contention is that these conditions apply
only TO fishing vessels, and are not to be
treated as ordinary commercial rights OF
ordinary trading vessels. Trading vessels
come TO trade, TO bring or take away
merchandise. There is no reason for de-
nying them supplies OF any sort, becau ne
their trade Il mutual benefit TO both
countries. But fishing Is a benefit to the
foreigner and loss to the Canadian. The
Canadian therefore ought not to be ex-
pected to provide the foreign fishermen
with bait, food or anything else calculated
to aid him IN taking fish. The treaty of
1878, he urges, secures the Canadian in his
right to deny these things to the foreign
fisherman, and both in doing 50 and in
keeping him away from The fishing grounds
he is only exercising his rights under the
treaty.
The question, therefore. 10 be decided is
whether the Canadians are violating
their treaty rights, and wheather they can
shut out American fishermen from the fish
OF the Atlantic ocean because the fish hap.
pen TO come in close to the Canadian shores
There does not seem 10 te much right or
equity in such claim, but II ID the one To
be determined
There are two ways, OF setteling It. One
by friendly discussion and reference TO
some impartial tribunal the other by IA
war and the conquest Of the dominion.
Had the Canadians been less harsh and
rash in enforcing their claims there wonld
have been less disposition to retaliate. But
there has been too much English arrogance
and insOeoce in their methods. There
have been pretty prosecutions for non com. :.
pliance with custom house regulations
One vessel was seized for catching fish for
the crews breakfast. Only one vessel of
oil that was seized was accused Of fishing
within the three mile limit. The captain
OF one schooner which rescued seventeen
men from sinking Canadian vessel was
not allowed to land them tor ten days
Although he fed them until his provlsions
ran low, and paid their railway fare home,
lie WAS not suffered to buy even hall bar
rel Of -four, but was AT once ordered beyond
the three-mile limit. II in these barbsr-
itiea quite Nh much as the disputes about
he fi-heries that have provoked retaliation
from this country.

After tho Board of Public works.

izntion and responsibility. Not only ar,
they using the States land, to the injury oI
the canal traffic, but canal grants have beer
made TO private parties. In fact 1t would
appear that the gentlemen comprising the
b. 2. w. regard the title to these water
ways and the banks thereof rs vested in
them, severally aud collectively, and all
attaching privileges ns their own, to be
diffused as freely ns the cash in their pock
eta. In view OF such Developments, 1t is
hardly surprise that members OF the
committee are unanimous in condeming
the b. p. w. This investigation will GO
on. 1t ought TO go TO the bottom-o things
and also the circumference, that the full
extent OF canal mismansgement may be
known. There are suspicious that some ol
our State officers are not wholly unac-
quainted with nor unfriendly toward the
conspiracy to grab Ohios waterways. 1t
should bring TO light, for the ediication Of
the Legislature and Of the public, what.
ever lies hidden under bushel or in the

STATESM NSMIP.

The cardinal doctrine taught in the
schools of the State should be, that the
happiness of each citizen can be secured
only by obedience to law. Many per-
sons look on submission as a menial ser.
vice rendered by slaves to a master.
But such an idea is an exceeding great
mistake. God himself has put himself
under bonds to do no wrong. The
whole economy of nature is subject to
law, The harmony of the universe is
secured by the order OF law. Without
obedience to law a State would be a
pandemonium of confusion. Hence ev-
cry citizen ought to be taught that obe-
dience is not a menial but IA noble act,
If anywhere schools fail to impress the
minds of the scholars that obedience is
a'trait that belongs to a noble mind,
they fail in duty and will reap the result
Young America is impatient OF restraint
-headstrong and wayward. ~ am my
own mastsr"-"I will do as 1 please
"This Is free country"-"No man can
rule me-" and many like expr essions
prove but too conclusively :hat subm is
sion is not by any means looked upon MS
a virtue. And yet submission to law is
the basis OF peace. The welfare OF the
people can be secured in no other way.
Every school boy, big or little, should be
trained and court-martialed and drilled
in the exercise of obedience. until he
looks upon tf,s service as one of the
highest virtues, and feels proud to say !
have never violated the laws OF my
school-master, and never mean to
violate the laws OF my country. Stub
borness is vice that leads TO crime.
Obedience is virtue and leads to honor.
